Abstract

Biophotonics-the interdisciplinary fusion of light-based technologies with biology and medicine-is rapidly transforming research, diagnostics, and therapy across various domains. This white paper, developed in conjunction with the International Congress on Biophotonics 2024, offers a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and future potential of biophotonics. It discusses core technologies such as bioimaging, biosensing, and photonic-based therapies, while highlighting novel applications in oncology, infectious diseases, neurology, cardiovascular health, agriculture, food safety, and environmental monitoring. The document also explores key enablers, including artificial intelligence, novel materials, and quantum biophotonics, along with critical challenges related to standardization, regulation, and clinical translation. A SWOT analysis and recommendations are provided to guide future research, commercialization, and interdisciplinary collaboration, underscoring biophotonics as a cornerstone of next-generation precision medicine and the One Health approach.
